Abstract

For something as small as a virus, the size of the impact it's had on all of our lives in the last couple of months is pretty extraordinary. And while children haven't been the primary focus of the public health measures in place around the world – given the disproportionate impact on older people –we can all see that children have nevertheless been massively impacted by the changes around us. In my view, Child and Youth Care workers have something essential to contribute to getting us through this pandemic well; in fact, the skills and wisdom of CYC will be essential to our global recovery.
